morganm Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Started on some kobolds for an up coming game. Figured I'd share the WIP as I go. About 2+ hours into them at this point. I thought they were already prepped and primed but it never fails; soon as I put on white primer I see mold lines I missed. Had to do some more filing and then patch up with more primer. Then I set out to do some dark lining (3 drops blue liner, 1 drop brown liner, 1 drop water) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganm Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 2+ more hours now and skin is base coated (4 drops ruddy leather, 1 drop oiled leather, 1 drop rosy skin... eCookie for whoever can figure out where I got that recipe =) There's 3 layers on the skin right now just to make the base coat. Went back and touched up some lines and did some lining I had missed before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nytflyr Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 looking good so far... I much prefer these kobolds to the newer scaly kind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Killer Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Looking good, I can't wait to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonelf3 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Nice work there! Is that wash/lining the one I told you about? It works wonders with mini clarity. I like their skin tones now, and I'm looking forward to their progression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaslater Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Skin tones drop the bomb!! I'm going to write down that recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganm Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Nice work there! Is that wash/lining the one I told you about? It works wonders with mini clarity. I like their skin tones now, and I'm looking forward to their progression. I had done this lining before I learned how you did your wash. That was what my question really was all about; to wash or specificaly line things. On the kobolds I tactically lined everywhere two different materials/bits met... which is painfully slow. I think next time I'll use your approach and do a wash so I don't have to be as specific about where I put the lines. Skin tones drop the bomb!! I'm going to write down that recipe. I can't take credit for the recipe. It's actually Anne's (eCookie for whoever knows where Anne *published* that recipe! =) What I'm wondering now is how to lighten it up for highlights.... so the base recipe is 4 drops ruddy leather, 1 drop oiled leather, 1 drop rosy skin. Do I use Oiled Leather or Rosy Skin to lighten it up? Maybe Linen White? I plan on using brown liner to darken that recipe for shading. Thx all !_!

Heisler Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I think for the next highlight I would just drop the amount of ruddy leather in the mix say from 4 drops to 2 drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganm Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Kobold Archer: Realy tiny figure that's hard to work on but coming along OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganm Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Kobold Shaman: Really neat figure but not a lot of skin showing so he's easy to do thus far. I think he'll be a challenge later what with all of the small details (like the glasses! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganm Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Kobold Seal Clubber: Also like this one as well; the muscles are really starting to take shape. Layers are going on smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganm Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 This time I took individual photos of them so you can really see them up close. Please point them out by name if you are going to C&C on one rather than all of them. Some seem to be turning out better than others; I feel like the muscle and bone structure is less pronounced on the smaller ones. Much happier with how the larger ones are turning out. The previouse 5 posts show them with a base coat (which took about 3 layers) and about 5 layers of shading. Spent about 4 hours doing the shadows. Now in that amount of time I have to add water as I go to keep the paint thin because of the dry air in my house. Since I drag the brush on the edge of the pallette to get the bulk of the excess paint out of the bristles I can watch the paint consistance; when it starts to thicken up I add a drop or two of water. Same recipe for shadows on all of them. 2 drops Ruddy Leather 2 drops Brown Liner 1 drop Oiled Leatehr 1 drop Rosey Skin 6 drops water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimwolf Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 That skin tone is coming along really well... I have never seen that blacklining technique before... very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
